Third Thursdays: Book Group 12:30-1:30PM
Our Book Group meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month.
Our reading audience suggests titles that relate to quilting, its history or the camaraderie of women.
We feature a fiction and non-fiction selection every month. Many of the current titles relate to the Civil War in recognition
of the 150th Anniversary. These titles give readers an opportunity to reflect on its relevance to the 21st century.
If you are not in the Greater Lowell area, consider reading these books and sharing them with friends or your own book group. Let us know your impressions of our selections.
If you have a favorite book you would like to recommend to our readers, we'd love to hear about it.
Email your suggestions to questions@nequiltmuseum.org

NOTE: Occasionally the date of our Book Group meeting changes to accommodate the museum's off-site participation in an area quilt show or other event. Please carefully check the dates below before coming out.
